It has been awhile since my last post. Not a lot was happening, everything pretty much the same. I continue all the same things I mentioned before, GAL, 180, etc. And that has been going well. The only thing is that even if I am having fun doing something, with the kids, with friends or family, or whatever, I still think about her. It is a constant in my mind I have to actively stop.
I haven't talked to W in that time. There were a couple emails I replied to related to the kids that asked direct questions, the rest I don't reply to. It seems about once a week lately. I haven't reached out, she only emails. So same approach there.
I do have two updates. First we had court for PDL. Which is basically her asking for more money and that what I was giving wasn't enough. We were both there on opposite sides of the room. Neither of us spoke or looked at each other. The lawyers handled everything. It did not go well for me. She didn't get everything she asked for but she got a lot more than I can give. It looks very very bleak. I have no idea yet what I am going to do.
Also, her family is having a family reunion in a few weeks and MIL wants me to bring the kids. W has not been around her family for a few years. I take the kids and go to all the holidays and bday parties normally. W hasn't seen or communicated with them in a long time. Still it will be a little weird to go. This is the first gathering since this situation started.
